16MB Wave ROM + 64 Notes
Polyphony + Organ Flutes function
Incredible Sounds Without Compromise
The PSR-2000 is loaded with 16MB of amazing voices. In fact, there are
well over seven hundred sounds including beautiful grand pianos, rich
acoustic instruments, sparkling synthesizers and a full set of Yamaha
XG voices. You can rest assured that XG and General MIDI sequences will
sound their best when played back on the PSR-2000.
Large Full Dot LCD with Song Lyric Display & Score display
Sing along with your favorite songs! The large LCD featured on these keyboards
displays song lyric data from Karaoke disks in real-time for endless singing
enjoyment. This unique display also makes keyboard operation easier and
more convenient by displaying more information at once. On the PSR-2000
you can display the notation for your own recordings as well as commercially
available song data and have the notation automatically shown on the display
- in whatever size or zoom level you want. You can choose the tracks you
wish to display, or let the keyboard automatically select the tracks.
The Score display will even show you the names of the notes, if you wish.
This powerful feature not only lets you view the entire score, it shows
where you are in the piece with the help of a moving cursor that follows
along with playback.
Vocal Harmony
The PSR-2000 has the same Vocal Harmony function as the PSR-9000 and
9000 Pro. Hook a microphone up to the PSR-2000, sing into it, and you
can sound like a choir. You can assign the Vocal Harmony to create harmony
from chords in your left hand, notes you play with your right hand or
from MIDI song files that contain harmony information. Yamaha MusicSoft.com
has many MIDI song files that contain lyrics and harmony for you to
choose from. You can even adjust the balance between your voice and
your "harmony" voices - or turn off your voice altogether
and sing in perfect pitch! Pressing the "Mic Setting" button
allows you to adjust the 3-band sweepable EQ, Noise Gate and Compressor.
To get you started, check out the VOCAL KIT (under accessories) which
contains a Professional Mic with case & 12 incredible licensed hits
on 3-1/2" Floppy Disk. The vocal harmonizer in the PSR-2000 can
harmonize any sound it "hears" so you could, for example,
play a live trumpet or sax (or violin, flute etc.) and have the 2000
re-create a complete horn section for you. Think of the possibilities!
Incredible Music Styles
The PSR-2000 contains a wealth of fully arranged music styles, including
specially designed Pianist Styles, to backup your musical performance.
Yamaha style makers around the world have been working very hard to
create some wonderful new styles for this release of the PSR- 2000.
Each style has 3 Intros, Main A/B/C/D variations, and 3 Endings, as
well as four fill-in patterns for added musical expression. You can
change the instrument part settings of any music style, or even create
your own custom styles. Do yourself a favor and go to your local Yamaha
dealer and try some of these incredible new styles.
Organ Flutes
The organ voice of the PSR-2000 has adjustable flute settings just like
a vintage organ. Drawbars are displayed on the LCD panel so you can
conveniently see the footage settings of each flute at a glance. Choose
from 10 presets or save your own User setups. You control the type (Vintage
or Sine), Rotary Speed (slow or fast), Vibrato on/off, depth & speed,
attack and DSP effects. The sound can be incredibly warm or have that
cutting edge - the choice is up to you.
Superb Digitally Sampled Voices
The PSR-2000 is loaded with well over 700 high-quality AWM (Advanced
Wave Memory) voices including 480 XG voices, a wide variety of drum
kits, and more than 200 amazing panel voices, also featured is an incredible
sounding Grand Piano voice. "Sweet, Cool & Live" Voices
are taken from Yamaha's flagship 9000 Pro. And with an outstanding 64-note
polyphony for the PSR-2000, you can compose complex arrangements without
worrying about voices dropping out of the mix.
Music Finder
Keyboard operation has never been easier! Pressing the Music Finder
button calls up an on-screen selection of songs by title. Simply select
one of your favorite songs and the keyboard is instantly set up and
ready to play. The correct tempo, matching style and appropriate sound(s)
for the melody are just waiting for you to start playing. Take your
music to new heights by inputting your own Music Finder songs. You could
put in your favorite music book so that all you have to do is select
the song and the keyboard is ready to play. This is a great tool for
professionals as well as home hobbyists.
Built-in Floppy Disk Drive
The PSR-2000 is equipped with a floppy disk drive that allows you to
play back MIDI song data in a variety of formats - including SMF 0 and
format 1, DOC, XG and Disklavier formats - and gives you the benefit
of unlimited storage for your original musical compositions. The PSR-2000
also features Quickstart On/Off (MIDI files play immediately after touching
Start button) and Chain Play On/Off (advances to next song and starts
playing).
Simultaneous Style & Song Playback
Imagine being able to play a MIDI file and a Style at the same time.
This keyboard has separate controls for song and style playback. The
style will automatically sync to the MIDI file. Maybe you'd like to
try one of your favorite songs with a different rhythm. If you are a
writer, maybe you'd like to try your song with many different styles
to see what it sounds like. If the song has chord data in it (many XG
files contain the chord data or you can input it using the keyboard
or software programs like XGworks), the style will actually follow the
chords in the MIDI file and play a complete instrumental background.
It's unique and different and just one of the cool new features of this
keyboard.
16-Track Sequencer & Lyric Editor
Whether you're an enthusiastic beginner, a serious composer, or anything
in-between, the PSR-2000's 16-track sequencer has the power to release
your musical talent. Arrange up to 16 different instrument parts to
create your own fully orchestrated songs. A variety of recording modes
and editing functions are available to suit your playing style. You
can even see the notes displayed on the large LCD screen (scoring ability).
Editing is easy and intuitive and offers cut, copy and paste features,
just like a computer! Once you enter the Song Creator mode, you'll notice
that we have a new section that allows you to input lyric data into
songs. Very cool. Once you enter the lyrics, they scroll by as the song
plays back - you just have to follow the bouncing ball.
MIDI / PC Interface
Expand your musical possibilities by connecting the keyboard to external
MIDI devices or even to a personal computer. The PC Interface jack on
the PSR-2000 can connect directly to a MAC or PC allowing you
to take advantage of the vast amount of music software and MIDI files
available on the market and online.
Exceptional Sound
Dynamic two-way stereo speakers effectively reproduce the PSR-2000's
high quality voices with rich, full-range sound. The keyboard's built-in
ports enhance lower frequencies.
One Touch Setting
The One Touch Setting (OTS) function automatically configures keyboard
parameters, such as melody voice selection, tempo, and accompaniment
volume, to optimally match each music style you select. This feature
has been improved on the PSR-2000. You can, if you like, have the OTS
advance automatically with the 4 Main Sections of a style for ultimate
hands-free operation.
Digital Effects Processor
Create rich timbres and professional mixes with the PSR-2000s' built-in
digital effects processor. A wide variety of effects, from warm sounding
reverbs and choruses to extreme delays and distortion are provided for
you to add depth to any of the voices. The PSR-2000 also includes several
Multi Effects and Master EQ that lets you precisely shape the sound.
Direct Access
Direct Access eliminates navigating through multiple menus. Press any
function button while holding down the Direct Access button, and the
display will instantly jump to the screen associated with that function.
Convenient for quickly setting voice, auto accompaniment and sequencer
parameters, etc.
Flash ROM Operating System
The PSR-2000 features a new Flash ROM based operating system for easy
upgrades. Upgrades, as they're released, can be found at the Yamaha
PK Club. Here you'll find a variety of support including a user's forum,
product information, and downloadable software. You can also store songs,
